Sometimes referred to as “Superfast Broadband”. If you rely on fast internet connectivity, fibre broadband provides both speed and performance with up to 80Mbps download and 20Mbps upload. Up to five times faster than standard ADSL. Fibre also allows SME businesses to take advantage of VoIP for telephony, file sharing and other hosted services without investing in dedicated connectivity.
